Abstract

Example printing devices and methods of the printing devices are disclosed. Target data is received responsive to imaging the source item. The source item includes a mark indicative of rendering information. The target data is used to detect the rendering information. The target object is output based on the target data and the rendering information.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
The invention claimed is: 
     
       1. A method, comprising:
 receiving, responsive to imaging a source item having a mark indicative of rendering information, a target data; 
 detecting, using the target data, the rendering information; and 
 outputting a target object based on the target data and the rendering information,
 wherein the rendering information identifies a region of the source item that is illegible if printed in a depletion mode. 
 
 
     
     
       2. The method of  claim 1  wherein the outputting the target object includes adjusting an output for printing a target item with the target data. 
     
     
       3. The method of  claim 2  wherein the target item is a printed target image. 
     
     
       4. The method of  claim 1  wherein the target data is received while copying the source item. 
     
     
       5. The method of  claim 1  wherein the outputting the target object includes adjusting a print setting from printing in the depletion mode to printing in a full color mode. 
     
     
       6. The method of  claim 1  wherein adjusting the output includes enhancing image quality of a target object in response to the rendering information. 
     
     
       7. The method of  claim 1  wherein the mark includes a data-bearing image on the source item. 
     
     
       8. The method of  claim 1  wherein the rendering information includes an identification of printing mode of the source item. 
     
     
       9. The method of  claim 1  comprising replacing the mark with a target mark in the target data, the target mark identifying rendering information of the target object, and printing the target object including the target mark. 
     
     
       10. The method of  claim 1  wherein the mark identifies rendering information for a region of the source item, and the outputting includes adjusting an output of area section of the target data corresponding with the region in response to the rendering information. 
     
     
       11. A system, comprising:
 a memory to store a set of instructions; and 
 a processor to execute the set of instructions to: 
 receive, responsive to imaging a source item having a mark indicative of rendering information, a target data; 
 detect, using the target data, the rendering information; and 
 output a target object based on the target data and the rendering information, wherein the rendering information identifies a region of the source item that is illegible if printed in a depletion mode. 
 
     
     
       12. The system of  claim 11  comprising instructions to generate the target data in response to imaging the source item. 
     
     
       13. The system of  claim 11  wherein the target object is a printed target item based on the target data and the rendering information. 
     
     
       14. A non-transitory computer readable medium to store computer executable instructions to control a processor to:
 receive, responsive to imaging a source item having a mark indicative of rendering information, a target data; 
 detect, using the target data, the rendering information; and 
 output a target object based on the target data and the rendering information, wherein the rendering information identifies a region of the source item that is illegible if printed in a depletion mode. 
 
     
     
       15. The non-transitory computer readable medium of  claim 14  further comprising instructions to generate a target mark encoding target rendering information on the target object.
